Celebrating Liz Carpenter

Just short of a week after Liz Carpenter died, you’ve got a chance to celebrate her life — in person in Austin or via Web cast.

The celebration service will be at 10 a.m. Friday at the LBJ Auditorium on The University of Texas at Austin campus. Doors open at 8:30 a.m.

Public parking is available at Lots 37, 38, 39 and 41. Overflow parking will be in the Manor Street Garage (public garage #5 on the map). If you park there, pull a ticket and then take it to the cashier to be validated at the end of the service. There won’t be a charge if you’re attending the service.

Seating in the auditorium and parking are both first come, first served.

Bill Moyers, Sarah Weddington, Harry Middleton, and members of Carpenter’s family will give eulogies. Lynda Johnson Robb and Luci Baines Johnson will participate.
